Long-ranged order and flow alignment in sheared atic liquid crystals
Luca Giomi, John Toner, Niladri Sarkar
We formulate a hydrodynamic theory of atic liquid crystals, namely two-dimensional anisotropic fluids endowed with generic fold rotational symmetry. Our approach, based on…
Hydrodynamic theory of atic liquid crystals
Luca Giomi, John Toner, Niladri Sarkar
We formulate a comprehensive hydrodynamic theory of two-dimensional liquid crystals with generic fold rotational symmetry, also known as atics, of which mematics an…
Hydrodynamic theory of flocking at a solid-liquid interface: long range order and giant number fluctuations
Niladri Sarkar, Abhik Basu, John Toner
We construct the hydrodynamic theory of coherent collective motion ("flocking") at a solid-liquid interface. The polar order parameter and concentration of a collection of "active"…
Swarming bottom feeders: Flocking at solid-liquid interfaces
Niladri Sarkar, Abhik Basu, John Toner
We present the hydrodynamic theory of coherent collective motion ("flocking") at a solid-liquid interface, and many of its predictions for experiment. We find that such systems are…
